Frequently Asked Questions

How does the quality of plans affect my project?

When budgeting for Home & Remodeling Design Services it's important to understand their value and importance to the success of your project. To build a new home or remodeling project on budget, on time and without disappointment it's imperative that you and your builder are very clear on the plans and specifications of the project.

  • "Beauty: the adjustment of all parts proportionately so that one cannot change without impairing the harmony of the whole."
    - Leon Battista Alberti
  • "Form follows function-that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union."
    - Frank Lloyd Wright

The investment required to develop a clear set of plans and specifications is far out weighed by the efficiency and professionalism in which your project will be executed. Building officials, suppliers, sub-contractors and lending institutions all need information from the plans. The clearer the information is the fewer questions and delays there will be. Suppliers and sub-contractors will develop bids and pricing from the plans and specifications therefore the more complete they are the more accurate the pricing will be.

Detailed up front planning will make for a less stressful building process, while saving you money and ensuring that in the end your home or remodeling project is everything you desired.
